Notes
In their astounding new opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, composer Mason Bates and librettist Mark Campbell explore the spiritual evolution of one of the most influential men of modern times as he creates a revolutionary new world of technological empowerment, then discovers a larger world within himself.
Like Steve Jobs, composer Mason Bates is an innovator whose creativity breaks through boundaries, combining traditional orchestration with electronics in ways that have made him one of the most sought-after and widely programmed composers in the United States. In The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, Bates and Campbell give us an alternative and intimate perspective of a public life, examining the people and experiences that shaped Steve Jobs: his father, his Buddhist practice, his rise and fall as an executive, and finally his marriage to the woman who showed him the power of human connection.

"... Pentatone's live recording of the premiere production in Santa Fe is well-engineered and catches the essence of the opera ... Michael Christie's direction of the orchestra is finely paced, well balanced and attentive to detail. Pentatone's sound is first rate ..."

“…The entire ensemble (including the first-rate Santa Fe Opera Chorus) is excellent. Edward Parks uses his bright baratone to evoke Job’s mercurial personality… Conductor Michael Christie propels the complex rhythms with an ease that well suits the artless ingenuity of Bates’s writing.”
Paul L Althouse - American Record Guide – November/December 2018
"... Michael Christie conducts with plenty of energy and verve, and the playing and choral singing are exemplary in their precision. The recording itself , superbly balanced, retains the applause... it's an impressive achievement."
